Notes for EA trading

Central bank communications can sometimes coincide with periods of higher volatility, and spreads may widen around major announcements. Traders running automated strategies may wish to check the schedule of scheduled events and consider whether to pause EAs around releases. Reviewing broker conditions and risk settings in advance is a sensible general habit.
